Anything and everything they can find an edge with - inefficient markets, horse racing tote rebates etc.. Google Zeljko Ranagojec and you’ll find a few articles on his origins and incredible mathematical prowess.

No shock that those two are involved. Still don’t see how they class it as illegal - it’s nothing that couldn’t be done manually, it’s just sped up by technology. And there was a big risk of multiple winners, meaning they’d lose out.

Didn’t realise it was Zeljko and Bernard involved but doesn’t surprise. Also don’t see why it could be deemed illegal. It’s nothing that anybody else couldn’t do, just accelerated by using technology. It didn’t block anyone else from winning, they’d have lost if there were multiple winners.

curious - when something like that happens so many years later, do you automatically think it'd be much better if you wrote it now (experience) or just a sense of pride about your 'back catalogue'?

very interesting. As someone who briefly worked in developing such farms a decade ago, I wonder what the impact of planning conditions is here. Growing taller hedgerows to hide them from the road etc.

While this idea probably came with the right intentions, I'm damn sure this would lead punters to chase their losses more than ever before. next.io/news/regulat...

Ah, lazy sports media roll out an old story because it's tennis time in Melbourne. No mention that reports of fixing are considerably down because of measures put in place by the ITIA and other integrity operations, with zero reduction in betting data coverage. www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis...

Don’t need them. It’s the lack of access to the local Test players that hurts. And competing with other comps puts more focus on $$. More franchises would push it out of the school holidays window, which is why they cut the no. of fixtures this season.

Holding Labour accountable is reasonable but that’s NOT what is happening. What we’re seeing is the most rich powerful people in the world throwing all they’re got at a democratically elected UK government, because it’s far less likely to work solely in THEIR interests than the previous one.

American players couldn’t possibly use a passport and create a genuine world tour.. But, nothing wrong IMO with trialling something different, especially in quiet part of the season. If it sucks, it’ll be quickly forgotten.

Too easy to go for the punishment rather than a preventative solution. It’s an admission that they don’t have the brainpower to solve it or sway the ‘ALWAYS USE BIG STICK’ morons who vote for them.

Thousands of people had travelled to the Gold Coast for the yearling sales and the race meeting on Saturday. It moved 164km to the Sunshine Coast with 24hrs’ notice. Was still a huge day.

Really liked Richard’s idea. Cross-meeting betting on-course is so low-profile it’s ridiculous here. There’ll always minor issues re shifting times or venues, but the greater good… Do we want racing to happen or only if under our own personal terms?

Scott Ferguson @borisranting.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

There's plenty of common sense here - so expect it to be completely ignored by the BHA. In Aus, we had a major meeting moved with 24hrs notice and another brought forward several hrs due to extreme heat. Be flexible! www.racingpost.com/news/britain...

Oh it’s by no means the only place they gather! Wherever there are people, there’ll be a significant section who have fallen for the elitists who tell immigrants are trying to steal their food/jobs/lifestyle rather than consider why those elitists are so fucking rich in the first place.
